I think after talking about it in class, as a group we established that marriage is no different from 1823 to 2012, all that's happened is the evolution of certain mechanics, meanings, ways to go about things. There are still people who marry some for money, there are those who marry others for their looks, and there are people who don't get looked at all because they are not certainly appealing. But in class we did establish what we think it essentially takes for a marriage.
1) There is the idea of money being a driving factor
2) How good looking someone is
3) How smart someone is
4) How educated
5) Where they're from, their background, their families, religious preferences
All 5 of these types of ideals are leading factors in a somewhat perfect match that we have assumed.
A question I would leave of with is behind everything "Is this the person you want to spend the rest of your life with?" Food for thought.
